Fluorescent lights are actually whiter than incandescent bulbs imo.
They make my room have a slightly yellow tinge, but maybe I just bought crappy ones?

They were some GE ones in yellow boxes I think.

Don't buy the El Cheapo brand, Hollis.

All the lightbulbs in my home have been quality CFs for at least three years, and I think I've had to replace one CF in that time.
I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption you're ignorant with respect to what brand of light bulbs I buy.

Aren't you?
I refer you to Mr. Hurricane's reply.

But, I take your word for it. Your short-lived CFs are very upmarket.

It must follow, then, that

- You live in a decrepit shack. The wiring is from the roaring twenties, hence the wild voltage fluctuations
- your house is infested with rats, gnawing on the wires, electrocuting themselves and your lightbulbs
- you live in North Korea
- or all of the above.
